Match preview: Mechelen vs Dender

Mechelen and Dender are set to face off at Kazerne’s Retadion Achter in a match of the 30th round of the 1e Klasse. In their last meeting in this competition on 26-2024, Mechelen emerged victorious with a score of (2-5). This match presents an interesting fixture, with one team positioned 9th and the other 12th in the overall standings, yet it is significant to note that Mechelen ranks 12th in home matches while Dender holds the 9th position as a visitor.

Team analysis: Mechelen

The home side currently sits in 9th place with 35 points from 9 wins, 7 draws, and 13 losses. They suffered a defeat to K. Beerschot VA (1-0) in their penultimate match before bouncing back with a narrow win over Sporting Charleroi (0-1). Mechelen’s home form has not been particularly strong, with records showing 3 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses from their last 10 home games in the league. Over their last 10 matches, they have conceded goals in 7 instances, indicating defensive frailties. Moreover, 13 of their last 14 fixtures have seen over 1.5 goals, highlighting a trend that should be noted. Throughout the competition, they’ve struggled when conceding the first goal, failing to recover on 12 occasions.

Mechelen enters the match seeking at least a point to avoid the risk of relegation. Following their significant recent victory, they should adopt a balanced approach, aiming to attack without exposing themselves. Improved confidence seems evident as they have shown more steadiness in their matches. However, defensive concentration remains crucial against a Dender side eager to counter swiftly. A positive result here would fortify their campaign in the latter stages of the league.

Team analysis: Dender

Dender, the visiting team, currently occupies 12th place with 32 points, gained through 8 wins, 8 draws, and 13 losses. They faced a heavy defeat against the Saint-Colloise Union (4-1) in their second-to-last match and lost narrowly to Genk (0-1) most recently. Their performance does not vary much whether at home or away, with similar goal statistics illustrated by 14 goals scored and 18 conceded at home compared to 18 scored and 31 conceded on the road. Dender has only managed to collect 8 points from the last 10 games they played away, indicating a rough patch.

Pressure is mounting on Dender as they now rely on results beyond their control to escape the relegation zone. With the team struggling throughout the season, they must prioritise securing a win while hoping for favourable outcomes in other matches. Given their current situation, we expect a more offensive strategy despite the away match. However, adjustments are needed in their defence to prevent getting caught out during counterattacks. The advantage lies with the home team, but Dender should take the risk, as they have nothing left to lose in this crucial encounter.
